People who review just to say "you made a mistake at X" annoy me. At least sugar coat it with "hey, I've been reading this story for 28 chapters and it's pretty good but you did X"

ALSO it helps if you double check your facts about X, particularly if it's say, canon material not that hard to find out.

Cloud's younger than Tifa by a couple of years indeed. HELLO. GAME MANUAL HERE SAYS OTHERWISE. Idiot.

Well, they haven't bothered us about it yet, so we'll see.

(Who knows? Who cares? Convo grammar is different than literary writing grammar anyway)

Heee! We have a couple MAJOR cliffies throughout the story. Good for you. :3

Not just me. Kiraya does a LOT of work on this too and polishes up most of my mistakes, not to mention does a great job of writing on her own!

But I'm glad you like Cloud.

Well, separately or not, you and Kiraya-san make great works together.

More like love how Cloud turned out. This got my fix of favorite things I look for in AU fiction. Just perfect. ^^

MAJOR cliffhangers? -.-'' -breaks out into a cold sweat- What kind of cliffhangers? The bad ones that leave us in stunned suspense, like the last, or the good, that make us guess and wonder and have our theories blown away (or confirmed, in rare cases)with the next update?

Yeah, conversing grammar is different than when you write, but I like having good 'speech' in both cases. Gives you practice, you know?

Good that they've left you alone for now. Don't like, don't read, I alway say (and so do other people).

This is getting kinda long.

Good to hear! Anything in particular you want to mention? Your favorite things for an AU?

Oh, some of both. And that's a good cliff hanger, compared to some....

Hey, I don't mind long comments! ^.^

What kind of things can I mention? Well, I've read a lot of AUs (courtesy of ff.net trends), so I know well what I like. Stronger characters, raised by someone else, a small change has bigger consequences, time travel, foreshadowing, changing the past to effect the future, characters that are IC but actually seem real (not the ohmygodsoperfect kind-of Mary-Sues mascaraing under familiar names), OC characters that actually fit... I can go on and on and on.

Yay, good cliff hanger! I wasn't quite sure if you were trying for that or not... Yeah, compared to some. Like when a character dies/blacks out and then it says -End of Chapter- or -To Be Continued...- makes me want to scream or throttle the author. Sometimes it's a good kind of violence that comes to mind, but most of the time, well... I can understand --I'm an author myself-- but sometimes...

Long comments are cool. You talk about stuff in them.

Nice chatting again, Bard Linn-san.

I just wanted to show off my new icon. ^^
Nothing, really.
Anyone know if you can edit comments and how?
Thanks.
